New Theatre Cambridge Programme Flyer January 1921

17 Dec

This programme flyer from the New Theatre in Cambridge is for the week commencing 10th January 1921. Included in the brochure are a good selection of advertisements from Cambridge businesses.

The forthcoming production is to be ‘Princess Ida’ with the famous D’Oyly Carte Opera Company. It was around this time that the actress Lillie Langtry (and her little dog) were staying with my great grandmother in Russell Street Cambridge - by this point it is thought that Lillie had retired from acting but she followed the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company with passion, and it is probably at this date that she is staying at great grannies house (and when these programmes have been passed down from) - you can read more about Lillie Langtry and her stay in Cambridge HERE.
